Practical    Bibliographies 

DAILY  NEWSPAPERS   IN 
THE  UNITED  STATES 

By  CALLIE  WIEDER 


NOTE 

The  bibliographies  of  this  series  in  the  field  of 
journalism  were  prepared  as  graduation  require- 
ments from  the  Library  School  of  the  University 
of  Wisconsin.  They  were  compiled  at  the  sug- 
gestion of,  and  in  cooperation  with  Willard  G. 
Bleyer,  professor  of  journalism  in  the  University. 
They  have  been  tested  by  constant  use  in  manu- 
script form  in  the  School  of  Journalism  for  two 
years,  and  were  found  so  useful  that  they  are  is- 
sued in  this  series  to  meet  the  demands  for  bib- 
liographies in  a  field  where  none  existed.  Each 
bibliography  was  revised  and  brought  up  to  date 
by  its  compiler  before  publication,  the  revision 
being  made  for  the  needs  that  developed  during 
the  two  years  of  use.  Almost  all  of  the  entries 
were  verified  in  the  libraries  of  the  Wisconsin 
Historical  Society  and  the  University  of  Wiscon- 
sin, though  some  entries  of  importance,  listed  in 
reliable  sources,  are  included  without  verification.

INTRODUCTION 

The  aim  of  this  bibliography  has  been  to  list  references 
on  the  writing  and  editing  of  daily  newspapers  which  will  be 
of  most  use  at  the  present  time.  The  business  side  has  not 
been  considered  nor  has  the  subject  of  newspaper  advertising 
been  taken  up  except  as  it  has  influence  upon  the  policy  of 
the  papers.  Special  departments,  comic  supplements,  illus- 
trations, etc.,  have  also  been  omitted. 

A  few  books  of  early  date  have  been  included  to  bring 
out  the  development  of  the  subject  but,  for  the  most  part, 
citations  previous  to  the  year  1890  have  been  excluded.  En- 
cyclopaedic articles  have  not  been  used,  although  those  in  the 
Encyclopaedia  Britannica  (llth  edition)  and  the  New  Inter- 
national Encyclopaedia  are  very  good  in  their  discussion  of 
many  phases  of  journalism  and  its  growth  in  this  country. 

The  bibliography  has  been  arranged  by  topical  headings 
to  show  the  logical  development  of  the  subject.  Numerous 
sub-heads  have  been  used  to  bring  out  quite  definitely  the 
exact  place  of  each  article  in  the  subject  as  a  whole.
